A new video presentation is now available demonstrating how to use the Allen Bradley L5K driver support in Red Lion's Crimson 3.0 software to establish communications between a Red Lion G3 HMI, Data Station Plus, or a Modular Controller and an Allen Bradley CompactLogix or ControlLogix PLC over Ethernet. This feature allows you to gain direct access to the native tag addressing scheme in the CompactLogix or ControlLogix PLC. The use of this unique import utility allows users of CompactLogix and ControlLogix to take full advantage of Crimson 3's battery of advanced features including protocol conversion, data logging, and web server.

The video gives step by step information on how to get a list of named data items from the PLC to map your tags to use with a G3 HMI, Data Station Plus or Modular Controler. Only the tags that you've decided to map to Crimson tags will be downloaded to save space on your target device.
